Because there are no such things and it's ludicrous to believe they would withhold anything of such nature.

Factoid... The moon is a quasi Catholic place of worship.

The very first thing Buzz Aldrin did on the moon was have communion.

If they had spaceship service manuals the Church wouldn't have waited for Appolo 11.
Actually, the very first thing Buzz Aldrin did on the moon was say "Contact light," the first words spoken on the Moon.

That's according to Buzz, by the way.

Much of this is nonsense. This Pope took nothing from Latin America.
Yes there was a colonial government that raped pillaged murdered and
stole much of what had value. While ranting no one has mentioned the
British, the French, The Dutch, The Germans and even the Italians.
The British and French were likely the worst when we gather our talking
points. Yes how much then did the British Crown steal? It might also be
said the British Queen was once the biggest drug lord the world ever saw
The British East India Company was the main vehicle for opium transport,
that company was owned by the British Crown..
Apologies are in order and reconciliation tales ,many forms but really the
tact of sensational comments is not going to do anything to heal old wounds,
When it came to religion I made my way to the exit long time ago. The fact
the Pope is making an effort to acknowledge the past is a good thing.
Secondly the aspect of New Spain meant the Spanish Empire not the Italian
Empire. Most of the Spanish wealth went to pay for the Armada that failed
Geography and history are having a hard time lining up here

So. . . your point is that if you and several accomplices commit a crime, you are not responsible for your actions?
It might also be said the British Queen was once the biggest drug lord the world ever saw
The British East India Company was the main vehicle for opium transport,
that company was owned by the British Crown.
Which is probably relevant to the Americas in your mind. As a matter of history, by the way, the BEIC was never owned by the Crown.

Especially your version of history.

k, so you're saying that the Vatican doesn't have treasures that are unreported? And your assumption is cause the catholic church is honest or cause they don't have a space service manual?

What has a spaceship service manual got to do with unknown treasures?

What do you think they are hiding?

Maybe conquest treasures. They kept hidden a number of people, items, books, art etc from the Nazi's during WWII. I just wonder what else they may have hidden. There's rumours of nazi gold hidden.

If they're able to hide pedophiles in plain sight, just imagine the possibilities of storing some interesting things bits of history amongst their 50 miles of shelving...

They are hiding Nazi gold? So why are a plethora Dioces having to sell off properties to make ends meet?

Who is hiding pedophiles in the general public at twice the rate of the RCC?

Wasn't it the other way around with gold being smuggled to Argentina?

Buenos noches mein Furer.

That's the other Nazi gold. I was talking about the secret Nazi-Inca Gold stored in the super secret vaults of the Vatican.
